[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on how she is accounting for that time off. If she is taking vacation days then I don't see what the problem is. If she were to take a regular vacation then she wouldn't be expected to make up that work right? If she is just not showing up but expecting to be paid and not taking vacation time, then yes she should make up that work.

I also don't know ow people are suppose to find back-up care. It is one thing if yuo have family in the area or friends who are willing to watch your kids, but not everyone has that luxury. [/quote]

In every job I've ever had, you are expected to get the job done whether you are on vacation or not.  You cover things before you go, do things in advance and then make up the work that comes in while you are gone when you get back.  There is no one that takes over for you just because you take a vacation.  So, I can see OP's point that there is a problem is the work isn't done.  [/quote]

NP here.  Right, I agree (though in my office, we have backups who work your portfolio in your absence), but it really has nothing to do with snow days with kids, but more in how she's managing her work overall, no?[/quote]
